Cloze Question/Embedded Answer

Embedded answers or cloze questions are texts that require the student to fill in the blanks. The blanks can either be words or entire phrases.

Choose cloze from the pop-up menu and type your desired text into the box. The number that corresponds to the text field with the correct answer needs to be enclosed in #.

Example:

  • Text in the text box: Today the #1# shines.
  • In textfield 1, you would write the correct answer and include all synonyms in the second text field (add them to the list by clicking on the red arrow).

      The student will see the following text: Today the _____ shines.

Typo tolerance:
You can choose to allow a certain number of typos in the users' answers. The typo tolerance can be set up to allow up to three typos per answer. Please be mindful about the setting of this value, for example if the typo setting is on two, both of the following answers would be considered correct: Hypothereosis and Hyperthyreosis!
